The Knoxville Area Mentoring Initiative is unique in that it is a combination of efforts across multiple organizations of varied backgrounds. By joining forces and working together, these organizations are seeking to strengthen the mentoring presence in East Tennessee and the surrounding area. We believe, by working together, we can be stronger, more effective and bolder in our effort to create and foster mentoring opportunities.
